JavaScript Formatter — Beautify & Unminify JS Code
Turn minified or messy JavaScript into clean, readable code with consistent indentation.
Quick answer
To format JavaScript, paste your code into the KaviForge JavaScript Formatter. It is beautified instantly with consistent indentation, line breaks, and spacing. Minified bundles become readable again. Choose 2 spaces, 4 spaces, or tabs.
Minified JavaScript is optimized for machines, not people. Whether you are debugging a production bundle, reading a third-party script, or cleaning up code pasted from somewhere else, formatting it is the first step.
The formatter understands modern JavaScript — arrow functions, classes, async/await, destructuring, spread, optional chaining, and template literals.
How to Format JavaScript
- 1Paste your JavaScript into the input box, or upload a .js file.
- 2Choose the indentation style.
- 3Read the formatted code in the output box as you type.
- 4Use "Use as input" to continue editing the formatted result.
- 5Copy the code or download it as formatted.js.

About the JavaScript Formatter
Formatting uses js-beautify’s JavaScript beautifier, loaded only when you use the tool. It reformats whitespace and line breaks without changing how your code runs.
Formatting does not reverse obfuscation: renamed variables such as a, b, and c stay as they are. The formatter also does not check for syntax errors.
JavaScript Formatter FAQs
How do I unminify JavaScript?
Paste the minified code into the KaviForge JavaScript Formatter. It is expanded into readable, indented code instantly.
Does formatting change how my code works?
No. Only whitespace and line breaks change; the code behaves exactly the same.
Can this deobfuscate JavaScript?
It makes obfuscated code readable by formatting it, but it cannot restore original variable names or undo string encoding.
Does it support TypeScript or JSX?
Simple TypeScript and JSX often format acceptably, but the formatter is designed for JavaScript. For full TypeScript support use Prettier in your editor.
Does it validate JavaScript syntax?
No. It reformats the code as written. Use your browser console or a linter to find syntax errors.
Is my code uploaded?
No. All formatting happens in your browser.
